Secure Flight

From the years 1995 through 2003, I was an Air Force medic stationed in Germany. For the first five years I was an Airman at the 86 Aeromedical Staging Facility (ASF). Our mission at the ASF was to transport patients back and forth from the flight line as they traveled to and from their medical appointments from their assignments across Europe and sometimes over the Atlantic Ocean to various Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) located in the Continental United States (CONUS). Our daily operations

We are very sad to hear the news of the Shoreham Air Show crash on the afternoon of Saturday 22 August. It all started when the Hawker Hunter, a 1950s plane, failed to complete an acrobatic loop and suddenly lost control. The pilot of the plane, Andy Hill, survived the crash but remains in a critical condition in hospital with multiple injuries. He was a very experienced pilot and was one of the top RAF pilots - this is why it was very unusual for the crash to happen. It crashed unexpectedly on

required much planning and sponsorships for this non-stop transatlantic flight upon the completion of his of his specialtybuilt plane by Ryan Airlines named the "spirit of St. Louis." This plane served as Lindbergh's life support through night and day and would later make history as one of ttre best-known aircraft in the world. The journey took approximately 33.5 hours and a distance traveled of 3,600 miles of the entire solo flight. After landing in Paris, Charles Lindbergh had become an international

idea to have good knowledge of aerodynamics and flight theory to be able to fly safely. There are four basic components in making an airplane fly, lift, drag, thrust, and weight. All of these work in unison to make a plane stay in the air. If one of the first three is taken out of the equation, gravity and weight will take over and cause the plane to descend. It is up to the pilot to understand how to make them equal in order to keep the airplane in flight or descend at an acceptable rate, in order to

their own bike shop in Dayton, Ohio. “Thanks to the bicycle business booming at the time they were able to have funds for learning about and building planes. They had great mechanical skills they learned from working on bikes.” (The road to the first flight). Their work influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice. They often used the shop to build and experiment on planes. These two brothers shared a passion for learning about

Business people- the flights are very suitable for a business person, the timing of the bulk of the flights is typical business hours, the bulk of their flights arriving before 9am and leaving between 5pm and 7pm, therefore they can get their work done during working hours and waste no time at the airport waiting for their flight, if they may have to wait at the airport they can use the business travel lounge facilities. Eco JET also offers the ability to use mobiles throughout the flight and buildings

Out of all of the days I have been alive there is one I will never forget. I woke up knowing that I was going to be going on my first airplane ride to Iowa to visit family, but other than a little fear everything seemed normal. As I boarded the plane and said goodbye to my family I found my seat and waited for take off. As everyone boarded the plane, I wondered who would be sitting in the open seat next to me. The seat remained empty for quite a while. We were just about getting ready to take off

that resulted from crash (NTSB, 2006). The flight was scheduled to be an on-demand passenger charter flight from Teterboro, NJ to Chicago, IL and was operated under Part 135 by Platinum Jet Management, LLC out of Fort Lauderdale, FL under the auspices of a charter management agreement with Darby Aviation. Platinum Jet Management was hired for this flight by the brokerage company for a charter customer. The pilots and cabin aide were notified of the flight on February 1st and later that day traveled

Basic training flying imparted at Army Aviation School is the bed rock of Army Aviation. Officers aspiring to become Aviators go through a professionally challenging basic Aviation course at Army Aviation School. The basic flying is conducted on MFI-17 (Mushshak Aircraft), which is a small two seater fixed wing monoplane. It is a rugged, versatile, and a very good basic trainer aircraft which bears the brunt of all the follies of an ab-initio Aviation student, including but not limited to hard landings

is revealed in numerous ancient tales such as the forbidden fruit, and even Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Ovid’s myth Daedalus and Icarus is yet another example of disobedience; however, there is much more to it than that. Well before the first flight, the ancient Greeks predicted the risks of entering into the realm of the gods (Rogers). Daedalus and his son, Icarus, wanted to escape a labyrinth that they were trapped in. Knowing they couldn’t escape by land or sea, Daedalus, a great inventor
